Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. Recently, I noticed that he seems to be getting fatter, and he eats more than other children. He likes to lie down after meals. I would like to ask: How should childhood obesity and overweight be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has childhood obesity, you should first arrange for reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for them. For childhood obesity, more aerobic exercises such as climbing hills and swimming are recommended. During this period, let the child eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Make sure the child avoids high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola. Parents should change the child’s reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. If the child’s condition is severe during the treatment of childhood obesity, it is important to go to the hospital promptly and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
